Monsieur is perhaps from New York;

Monsieur is fortunate. He has, perhats,

''Ah, is it so9 Perhaps my poor self would
introduce Monsieur TO some of the wondels

He began to draw closer, and in a lowe

"Jolly smooth trip my boy" says an UNI
mistakably English voice behind me, and

suspicion. The Frenchman eyes the new

self from humiliation could not prevent
a faint smile The foreign element utters

melodious, but which, no doubt. means
something hard and molodorous, and on he
goes.

Petitions to Congress.

The New York SIN says: ut is
estimated that there are FIVE car loads
of prayers from the people Of the
country, in the form of memorials,
petitions. demonstrates, etc., filed
away in the Capitol. So familiar has
Congress become with these impor-
tunities, that it may truly be said
they have ceased to have any percep-
tible effect. People who want to in
fiuence legislation had best move by
other means than these. Every day
in the House and Senate, during
session of Congress, petitions and
memorials are presented from thous-
ands of people for and against scores
of subjects, until it has become a bur-
den to receive them and matter of
form to refer them where they will
never be seen again. Temperance,
church, social, and as many other
societies as one can imagine, have
gotten into the habit of authorizing
signatures of their officers to petitions
and memorials to Congress, for or
against subjects, under the impression
that they will have some influence.
An old file clerk said that if the peO-
pie who send these documents would
direct their grievances or desires to
Senators and Representative person.
ally. they could have manifold more
influence, and at greatly reduced
trouble. 'The only way to influence
legislation is for the people to address
their congressman personally and
DIRECTLY said he. This thing of keep
ing up these stereotyped petitions is
aggrayating, and, instead of having
the desired influence. very frequently
act to the reverse of the intention of
the petitioners. AS soon as Con-
gresham gets petition, he presents
it and has it referred to the commit
tee having the subject under discus
sion in charge. and sometimes he so
informs the constituents interested,
and there the matter rests. He feels
that he has done his whole duty, and
no impression is made anywhere. He
treats petition of 500 names with
no more consideration than he would

those petitioners would write per-

The Turkish Lent.

In an article on life Beneath the
Crescent" in the Cosmopolitan En-
lie Julliard says:
The Turkish Lent is much more
severe than that observed in Europe,
and the God of Stamboul is not SO
lenient as that of Rome. He per-
mits the eating of neither eggs nor
fish. He does not, in fact, permit
the eating of anything; for Mussul-
mans are forbidden to eat and drink
anything whatever from the rising
until the setting of the sun, and that
for twenty. eight consecutive days.
1t is forbidden evento smoke, to take
snuff, to eat lozenges, to use perfum-
cry, until report of cannon, which
is fired in the principal quarters at
twilight, raises this tyranIcal inter-
diction to re-establIsh it at the ifst
CLEANS of dawn. The nights of Ka-
mazan are spent in Teasing and
smoking Called Iftar), which atone
somewhat for the austerites of the
day.
AS the Turks reckon time accord
ing to the lunar year, the months do
not follow exactly the order Of the
seasons; and when Lent comes in
winter, it is extremely tolerable, for
the days consecrated to abstinence
are short, and the nights devoted to
feasting are long. But if RamaZan
comes in midsummer, it is not at all
convenient, and hunger as we'll as
thirst makes protests that Mussul-
maic piety does not always succeed
in silenclng.
Fortunately the Turk is a sleeper,
and while he is asleep the Koran
does not forbid him to dream that he
is feasting. But the most pressing
want of the Osmanli when he breaks
his fast, is not to eat, but to smoke
his chibouk. A domestic, attentive
to the blessed signal, stands behind
him with his pipe filled and lit, and
hardly has the cannon flashed when
the master, without awaiting the re.
port, takes his first Whit.

Use Of Lime.

Professor Caldwell said in the New
York Tribune: "Hence the first and
one of the most important rules to
be observed in the use of lime is that
it should be applied in those large
doses only to soils comparatively
rich in humus or strong claf ~ ssff{aa-
rich in finely divided silicate. 1t has
been proved by experiment that lime
will convert plant food from the in
soluble to the soluble forms in either
case. We find the proverb current in
France and Germany, as well as in
our own language, that Lime with
out manure makes the father rich
but the children poor which means
plainly enough that not only should
we start with good soil in using lime,
but should maintain its good condi-
ton by the liberal use of manure,
and we find that whenever in this
country or elsewhere lime is used in
diligently, manure is used freely"

is lucky to see the new moon over

is good fortune to the end of the
month. In Renfrewshire, if a mans
house be burnt during the wane of
the moon it is unlucky. but if the
moon is waxing it is lucky. To have
money, particularly gold or silver, in
your pocket at that time is token of
good fortune, but to be without it is
very bad omen. In Orkney it is
considered very unlucky to fit or
move from one place to another dur

people in some parts of Argyllshire
are wont to invoke the diyine bles

is derived from that denoting full

augur prosperity.
